Carole Bleistein was born in Canada, raised in the United States and enjoys influences from both cultures. After studying Fashion Merchandising, illustration at a school in Canada, Art History at University of Washington, she returned to her first love, art. Two children did not slow her down adding study with many well known artists and special study in Chinese Brush painting. This laid the ground work to pursue art more seriously. She has been showing consistently for over 20 years and has been in over 300 exhibitions, winning awards, and earning three National signature honors.
